Unprecedented corruption

Trump's conversation with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto is caught on a hot mic. Hard to tell exactly what they are talking about, but Subianto asks Trump about meeting Eric Trump and Don Jr, who supposedly have nothing to do with government while they run the family business.

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

Lmao is this supposed to be a bad thing?

A tweet from Bari Weiss that says “"It's shaken me to my core," a lieutenant said of Mamdani's unexpected victory in June. "The absolute dread I feel is palpable.
"
Today in @TheFP our @Olivia_Reingold talks to the cops who say they will walk if Zohran Mamdani is elected in November:”

Gross game, but good to come out on the right side of it - despite absolute dog shit officiating once again from the SEC's most beloved amateur morons.

Played it in the stadium. It was late as hell lol but his head was turned and Green is a runner in the field. They've overturned worse hits this year imo

Week after week after week, it's just garbage in stripes across the league.

The SEC has too much money to allow this.

Might be the second game completely changed by unacceptably poor officiating.

Apologies aren't enough.

Two straight drives stopped by avant garde refereeing where arky can apparently commit no penalties

Federal agents aren’t trying to keep the peace. They want violence to escalate so that Trump can declare martial law.

They shot a reverend in the head with pepper balls while he was praying in front of an ICE facility. If that doesn’t tell you where we are as a country, nothing will.
